BUGGY-GEARI-NG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 1\To. 283,843, dated August 28, 1883,

Application filed October 17, 1882. (No model.)

To (tZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ENOOH ZIEGLER and BENJAMIN H. ZIEGLER, of the town of Berlin, in the county of WVaterloo, in the Province of 5 Ontario and Dominion of Canada, (subjects of the Queen of Great Britain,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buggy- Gearing, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to the mode of hanging elliptic springs to side bars in such manner as to make the buggy more substantial. cheaper, and easier riding than the ordinary ellipticspring buggy, the springs being hung 15 as fully set forth in specification.

Figure 1. is a perspective view of the entire buggy. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the side bars and hangers thereof. Fig. 3 is a crosssection vertical View of Fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Letters A, as shown on drawings, are the side bars of the buggy, to the bottom of which are attached, by means of clips, continuous iron 25 or other metal bars, which latter drop at a certain distance from each end of side bars, forming' the hangers B, wherein the ends of the spring-bars O rest, and are firmly secured by means of bolts, and the continuous iron or other 0 metal bars also form at each end of side bars braces by which the side bars are firmly secured to the back axle and head-block in front of buggy. The elliptic springs are attached to the spring-bars O by means of clips or bolts, and to whichclips or bolts are attached the 5 braces F, running to the back and front axles, for the purpose of keeping the springs and axles in a perpendicular position.

To the front spring-bars, O, and bolts secur ing them to the hangers B are also attached the steps E, and to the top of the elliptic springs are clipped or bolted the spring-bars D, to which the body of the buggy is secured by means of bolts.

WVe are aware that prior to our invention elliptic springs have been hung to side bars in buggies; but 7 Vhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The combination, in a bugg gearing, of side bars, head-block, axles, spring-bars, elliptic springs, and the continuous metal bars A, secured to the side bars, forming hangers B and braces at each end of side bars, braces F 55 between springs and axles, and steps E, substantially as set forth.
